Re: touchscreen device recommendations please...

["Chris Purves" <CHRIS_PURVES@xxxxxxx>]

Actually it looks like I meant the progears. It seems airpanels are
the nuts if you don't mind putting up with the occasional remote
desktop niggle (rare but occasional apparently).=20

People seem to agree that a local running version of mainlobby client
is preferable if you can get the horsepower. It seems the Q1 is the
first sensibly priced device that might manage it - hence a few people
buying them including Mario - cinemar's owner.

My solution is equivalent to local but you lose the portablity which
the airpanels and Q1 offer. Probably some kinda combination is in
order. Few fixed, few portable.
